Duane

The main impetus for turning this surname into a given name was James Duane (1733-1797), who was mayor of New York City 1784-1789 and a U.S. federal judge 1789-1794. In the 1850 census, 62% of the 488 men and boys who had Duane as a given name were born in New York state, and most Duanes were born in either New York or the Midwest until the 20th century.

I found in a Document that the name Duane meant "Singing" in Celtic! This was a long time ago in the 1950's so I can not reference it! Lately I do not see this meaning used in current name definitions! I've always accepted this meaning and wished I had kept the reference!
